Last chance to participate in one of the most important surveys of the year

Last Chance

The Hackett Group recently launched its 2024 Procurement Agenda and Key Issues study, but time is running out to have your say.

The study closes on Friday, 27th October.

The PASA community receives exclusive access to the study and an oversight of the regional results, making it one of the most important surveys of the year for procurement professionals.

This is your opportunity to share your knowledge and gain vital insights, including:

  • Priority business trends and strategic priorities of the enterprise that are expected to shape the procurement agenda in 2024
  • 2024 key objectives, transformation plans and challenges for procurement organisations
  • Projected changes in procurement workloads, staffing levels, operating budgets and technology spending
  • Technology landscape, level of implementation and enablement of business objectives

The results will be shared with PASA Connect CPOs in March and at the PASA CPO Exchange in August.

The study, which should take around 20 minutes to complete, is divided into three sections, consisting of demographics, procurement-function-specific and enterprise-level questions.

Those who participate will receive an anonymised research report with composite results and an exclusive invitation to a webcast that will delve into important findings from the research.

All respondent and individual company information will remain completely confidential.
